Soft plot spoiler review, I give you an idea about the ending, although I omit the details.
K (Kane Kosugi) escapes from a swat team that can only come at him two at a time, although there are a dozen of them coming up the stairs. He leaps from his hotel room, bumps his head and joins an assassin cult group lead by The Minister (Rade Serbedzija). K kills for the minister, or else the janitor (Sahajak Boonthanakit) dies... and he dies too because there is an explosive in his chest. K has amnesia and flashbacks which likewise have nothing to do with the first film. K, who is not an MIB, wants out.
I am not sure how this tied into the first film other than the fact it takes place in the same city. There is less arena style fighting, i.e. the actually create a story instead of imitating a video game where you just fight. The end starts to get twisted and confused.
This "sequel" which isn't, was released 4 years after the first film so it may be a good thing that the two are not related...just kidding. Now it does leave us open for what promises to be an exciting Tekken 3 as he and the killer girl (Kelly Wenham) will have to take on the big cheese (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) who was little more than a cameo.
Guide: No swearing. Implied sex. No real nudity. Women dancing in bikinis. Biljana Misic in a school uniform sucking on a pink Dum-Dum and dry humping, so the film wasn't all bad.

I HAD ISSUES WITH HIM
Way to go ...
As in: Maybe they should stop making Tekken movies and just concentrate on the games. Though I have to admit, I didn't connect this with the games at any point. Which is either a good thing (making it a unique story) or a bad thing (going too far away from the source material). Whatever the case, it's the viewer who has the last word on it. And some might wish they had amnesia after watching this.
Seriously though: The fighting is pretty decent, though you do wonder how they get some people involved in movies like this. I guess everyone needs money after all. Gary Daniels makes more sense I reckon though, but the movie/script might have sounded better than the finished product after all. Because there are a few nice touches/ideas that almost shine through, but never seem to really capture the viewer ... there are worse movies out there, but there are far better ones too.
As equally disappointing as the first movie...
"Tekken 2: Katzyuas Revenge" didn't really offer much to the Tekken universe that already didn't fail in the first "Tekken" movie. And I dare say that it was equally boring, uneventful and unnecessary.
Some things just doesn't translate well from being adapted from a console game to the big screen, and fighting games is definitely one such things. Just look at the atrocities that are "Street Fighter", "Mortal Kombat", "King of Fighters", "Dead or Alive", "Double Dragon" and of course also "Tekken". These titles are great as console games, but translated into movies, it is just mindless nonsense. I guess it is just a matter of time before they make an "International Karate+" movie as well...
The story is about a young man who is suffering from memory loss, and he is forced into labor for a mysterious man called The Minister.
And that was basically it. The storyline in "Tekken 2: Katzyuas Revenge" was so abysmal and devoid of contents that it was a strain to sit through it.
What managed to make the movie pass as even just remotely watchable was the fight scenes, although for a movie based on a fighting console game, then there were surprisingly little fighting throughout the movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate, but nothing outstanding really, nothing memorable either.
"Tekken 2: Katzyuas Revenge" is not really worth the time or effort.
